What happened to the Hilton Sa Torre hotel in Mallorca?

Hilton Sa Torre Mallorca has joined Thomas Cook.
We mentioned last year that Hilton Sa Torre in Mallorca – almost certainly the only Hilton in the world in a 14th century building with its own windmill – was leaving the chain.
This is a shame as it was a surprisingly upmarket hotel which I reviewed here.
For anyone wondering what became of it, it has signed a franchise deal with Thomas Cook and will join the ‘adults only’ Casa Cook chain later this year.
This is a little odd. Casa Cook
“stands for a new breed of hotels, bringing an urban zeitgeist to the beach. For all who seek a laid-back, stylish and authentic holiday experiences.”
….. which is about the last thing you could have said about the hotel under Hilton management.
